Book Review: Who Saves the Day?
Summary: 4 Stars
Julie Carpenter starts out as a forlorn sort of character. Her boyfriend/love interest has recently emptied her bank account and left her after sleeping with her best friend, so, as a chick, I sympathize and watch her go for the ice cream while her roommates throw a wild party with complete understanding. And then my complete understanding takes a direct hit. When the hot-and-sultry Kieran MacIntyre shows up at the party, he's countless centuries old, yet confused by his "attraction" to Julie. And she's confused by her attraction to him.
I'm not big on romance novels. But this one promised "paranormal" romance and had a great opening line. So I threw caution to the wind and dove into the fast pace. And it certainly has a fast pace. Child doesn't take a long time dragging out details about the demon chasing Julie, etc. She gets to the point, makes the point clear, and dives into the next hit of action. What irritated me was Julie's constant denial of danger as those hits kept coming; she just couldn't listen to the man trying to help her. (Yet she didn't file charges when Kieran "detained" her at his mansion, if you catch my drift, so plausibility went out the window.) I couldn't stay in the story for the irritation with the immaturity of both characters. And when neither character actually acted the part of the hero...let me refrain from giving away spoilers here.
I want to make it clear that the novel was a quick, easy read with scenes that were clear and visible. Maureen Child did a great job of painting a picture wherever the characters went. She did a great job of giving them form and dialogue. I just didn't enjoy their dialogue because they seemed so bent on behaving irrationally. Folks who enjoy fast, easy romance will definitely enjoy this book, and I recommend it for a light afternoon's entertainment.
